on a newly-installed F10 laptop, i statically assigned an IP address to eth0 for use on an isolated network but whenever there's no other system on the network, the laptop simply drops its IP address, and i have to reactivate it manually with "ifup eth0". is this normal? if the interface is statically assigned, why would it decide to drop its address? or is there something else at play here? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
